The Cyril Critchlow collection was opened todayby Ken Dodd atBlackpool Central Library.I was fortunate to have an invite. First we had lunch and were entertained by members of the Magic Circle. We had a preview of the collection of Ephemera left behind by Cyril. Ken Dodd gave a tribute and we had a good laugh at all of his jokes.He has to be the UK's funniest comedian.

The gardens opposite the Casino in Monte Carlo.Me and Jo. Monte Carlo.

Crafted with limited supplies. Whisky helps too.

Made some backgrounds by using watercolour crayons scribbled on paper and dragged out with a waterbrush. Spritzed with home made shimmer mist. Stamped over this and cut into strips then did some paper piecing for the backgrounds.

I owe Adrienne another swap where she chose a Medieval theme. I struggled with this as I didn't have any suitable images. I made and started different things that I wasn't happy with.So she gets a chain maille bracelet which took me a couple of days.

I altered a boat shaped key cabinet for Adrienne in our swap group. She had chosen an Under The Ocean theme.I re-painted the whole thing by sponging white then blue paint.I crackled the small panel at the front and decoupaged a mermaid onto it.I stuck down shells and sea glass, then stamped the images, some directly and some on fantasy film.I added 2 new hooks inside to finish.
